Skeletons

Verse one
Captivated, I’m a man consumed
Pickin’ at these open wounds
Adding up the final cost
Mindful of the one I lost
Remembrance of my hopes and dreams
Swept away in crimson streams
Comfort comes in numbing waves
As I push to wash the pain away

Pre-chorus
Circumstances set the stage
But I’m the one who digs my grave
Chorus:
A rusty spade just diggin’ holes
To bury my remorseful soul
As I recede in my escape
I disappear without a trace

Verse two
Angels whisper in deafening voices
Convicting me for selfish choices
A petition to reveal my sins
My endless procession of skeletons
All the lies I’ve tried to hide
Were once wrapped up and neatly tied
In the fabric of my life I’m finding
Webs of grand deceit unwinding

Pre-chorus
Circumstances set the stage
But I’m the one who digs my grave
Chorus:
A rusty spade just diggin’ holes
To bury my remorseful soul
As I recede in my escape
I disappear without a trace

Verse three
Breaking the chains of broken dreams
Spilling secrets gone unseen
With a heart of flesh…I swallow pride
Revealing all my sordid lies
I’m no longer in the darkness
In it’s absence only light
Through faith it’s all been chased away
As a thief into the night
